Steely Dan were finally hitting their stride with July 1973’s Countdown to Ecstasy. After setting the SD sonic template with November 1972’s debut LP on ABC Records, Can’t Buy Thrill, they reshuffled some personnel — for one thing, original co-lead vocalist David Palmer departed (albeit providing some backing vocals here and there), while keyboard whiz kid Donald Fagen took over essentially all the lead vocals fulltime, from this point forward — and the five-piece collective worked out much of their sophomore album’s core material live onstage during 1973’s hectic tour schedule, all of which added to Countdown’s inherent interactive grit.

Un libro d’ore per Rizzoli. Fra memoria e dolore, l’assenza insegue i nostri fantasmi, è ingombrante, pronta all’attacco, proprio come una tigre.

The Journey - An Ancient Tune, an ancient, atavistic testimony, a journey from the contingent to the metaphysical, from earth to Heaven, an ethereal tale of a journey that, through memory, turns its gaze above human existence towards higher dimensions: another vision, beyond the clouds, beyond the sharpness of the gaze, in search of a new peace in the spasmodic search for truth.
